When you first start picking harmonics, pick the note as close to the bridge as possible (as opposed to having your picking hand hovering near the sound hole). You will find this makes it significantly easier & the harmonic much clearer.
Once you become proficient you will be able to do it with your picking hand in the normal position & still get a good sound. The beauty of this, is that you now only have to think of what you are doing with one hand instead of two, you can now just focus on where to touch the string with the fretting hand & how lightly.
Hope this helps
